OK, This whole question comes from my wife. We are driving home from the bike shop today, (with an “I support organ and tissue donation” sticker) and we see a trashed Hyundai with a 6" Playboy sticker on the rear window. She wants to know what it means. Is it a statement? If so, then what. It obviously wasn’t a membership badge based on the driver.
Possibilities:
I feel as hot as some of the girls in the magazine
I love the magazine and want to let everyone know, like my cycling stickers show how much i like cycling.
I dig Hef’s lifestyle and i’m looking for someone who is also
I’m as great in bed as you imagine the magazine girls are
Big picture: why do we sticker up stuff?
Small picture: what statement does the playboy bunny mean?
I told her it was a gang symbol. She’s not satisfied…she wants answers…welcome to my world…
"I’m a victim of the rampant consumerism of the United States, and am willing to buy and display any symbol that I think might make other people think I’m “cool.”

Yeh what he said. I once saw a teenager driving around with a pacifier in his mouth. I later realized it was related to a drug reference. Apparently driving, walking with a pacifier at age 16+ was “Cool”. If a person will do that, a playboy sticker ain’t no thing to “Be cool”
welcome to the reality of “i don’t get kids these days anymore”. everytime I see one of those playboy stickers or the devil and angel chick stickers the driver is almost always an overweight, less than stellar looking female.
Today I was stopped behind a big truck that had a “hunting” sticker that featured a doe with her tail up and a buck crouching down behind her as if he’s “taking a sniff”. What does THAT mean?
Almost all of the commercial stickers a “better” than RIP Daler Earnhardt messages on the back windshield made out of “mailbox letters”.
Good grief.
There will come a time when I may be the only person without a tat, bumper sticker, or other advertisement as to what I’d like to be associated with. Imagine that, the former “boring” or “non-trendy” person will become the ultimate non-comformists or rebel.
My wife asked me why girls younger girls wear these huge, bug-eyed, obnoxious looking sunglasses with white frames. LIke I’d know (I’m 34). I replied, "the same reason they choose to wear everything else … society or their cliche has told them “this is cool” and they do that regardless of what it looks like. It’s the Emperor has no clothes situation. Regardless of how dumb the situation is, very few want to point out the obvious ridiculousness of what some “cool” people do.
We, in general, are a very insecure society that seeks to buy acceptance in one form or another. The one thing people are never comfortable in seems to be “their own skin” or just being content with who they are. many folks seem to be willing to do anything “but that”.
I heard of a study the other day that revealed women that have had implants have higher depression rates than women who haven’t. Not surprising. Did they think fake boobs were going to change their confidence levels or their skills in other areas?
People try so hard to impress others and then wonder why so few are “happy”.
On that car it means you are an immigrant construction worker from central america in your early 20s. You are making good money and you want to let the chicas know who you are. Have you ever seen some of the adornment on their rides?
They probably wanted to put on a sticker like my buddies car “VAGINAS ARE WAY COOL!!!”, but didn’t have the “nerve” to do it, so they settled for the trendy overplayed bunny.
I guess the Jesus decals has been on cars for ages; then the “Darwin” ones, then the Jesus fish eating the Darwin.
The creator of Calvin and Hobbes must have been pretty bummed with all those idiotic Calvins peeing on Chevys and praying for forgiveness and all that.
My sister and her husband bought a new full size truck for their business. I totally want to put these awful, sexist stickers all over it. See how long it takes until they see them. A horrible practical joke, I know. But I alos don’t want them to lose any business, so maybe I’ll do it in the off-season.
I mean do guys think they will get chicks with these ???

Kind of reminds me of guys who drive past while we are practicing and yell things to my female student-athletes.
